Adjustable clutch and brake levers

I have seen on some Kawi models brake and clutch levers that are adjustable to fit smaller hands and finger lengths.Anyone have a set on his or her bike? Any aftermarket pieces that will fit an older (82) KZ? Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.bj

What is refered to as Power Levers position both Levers closer to the Grips than normal Levers.

Look at mid 90's GPz1100, ZG1000, etc, for adjustable levers, but the only ones I've seen with adjustable clutch levers had hydraulic clutches.

I have a 96 GPz1100 master cylinder on my 750 twin with the adjustable lever. I have the matching hydraulic clutch setup, but haven't installed it yet.

What does it take to convert a cable clutch to hydraulic? Are there any bolt-on swaps for a J-engine?
